Fixedly connected to and projecting outwardly from the side walls 6 and from the end wall 8 of the main body portion adjacent the upper margin thereof, are screws 2 I, which extend through the slots 2G. The collar I3, before attachment thereof to the bar fixture, is vertically slidable on the end of the main body portion 5 and is guided in said sliding movement Yby the relationship of the screws 2l with the slots 20. The screws 2l are provided with wingnuts 22 for locking the collar I3 in any selected position of vertical adjustment. u,

In use, the improved receptacle may, if desired, be attached by means 'of the screws II which support the main body portion 5, and the collar I3 can be held in a selected position of vertical adjustment by tightening the Wingnuts 22 on the screws 2I. adjustable collar I3, the invention is adaptable to a variety of supporting surfaces and at the same time presents the appearance of having been designed especially to ft the particular contour of the surface to Lwhich it is attached. The invention provides ,a convenient, sanitary, ventilated receptacle which is very neat in appearance. Y

The adaptability to a varietyrof attaching surfaces and the neat appearance above referredto is of particular interest to tavern Yowners having the modern type of4 bar xture which is in vogue at the present time.V Certain curved lbar fixtures now in use give the patron a full view ofv much equipment which was formerly hidden by the Yold straight line type of bar. This open type of bar design not only requires the use of equipment which is neat in appearance, but it also requires equipment which promotes the utmost sanitation. By providinga ventilated receptacle for the bar cloth, contamination of glasses, water bottles andthe like is prevented, and the cloth is stored in a convenient place away from the patron and substantially Vconcealed fromhis view.j
